Chapter 28

"This, where is the money? I've give you what I had promised, now give me the money." The person handed over a file to Alex. Alex then opened the file and checked it. He then looked at the suspicious person.

"Are you sure the information are trustful?" The person flinched, as she stares with a deep stare at Alex and she replied, " Of course, this is just a norm at the workplace I worked at." Alex was a little confused and then he asked, "Why it is a norm?" She giggled then it turned to be a big laugh because it was so funny until she touched her belly, trying to stop laughing. She wiped the water came out of her eyes because of the laughing. She gave him a serious stare. "It's just no one dared to go against her.."

Alex stared with suspicion, he then slowly handing over a bag of money. The person checked the money and slowly walked away, but at the moment as Alex watched her, he asked "What makes you do it then?" She stopped, she turned around and gave him a creepy smile. Alex was a little shocked.

"Haha, nothing. It just.. a deep feeling of hatred." She seemed calm but, Alex can saw a hatred at her brown eyes. "All of her wrongdoings.." She rubbed her face. "was really driving me up the wall everytime she vent her anger to us." Alex looked at her. "Then, what're you gonna do now?"

A silence. She was quiet, then a sigh kicked in the silence. " Run.." She smiled, " I'm going to run away.. Not too far from this place, at least a place where no one recognized me.."

A while after that..

"Hey." Alex looked up. He still standing at the place where they were doing the deal. "Do you got it, Alex?" Lisa looked at him up and down, then she saw a glimpse of the file. " Yes, I did.. But Miss Lisa, is this really necessary?" Alex threw a punch. A punch at the wall, that left a huge damage to it. He was quite furious, but that time, Lisa still gave him no explanation. "Alex, this is her order. What you're doing now, is it going against her or you are sympathizing with the person?"

Alex flinched, as he looked with his furious eyes at Lisa, he took a deep breath. "I am sorry, it was my fault. I shouldn't ask any further.." Lisa glared at him. She walked away as she said, " You'd better ask for no explanation.. because the one you served now is Miss Monica." Alex was a little clueless. "Everything you've done and what you'll do at the future, you should never questions her order. Remember that."

At Monica's office

Lisa knocked the door. " Enter." She then entered her office and then she handed over the file to Miss Monica. Monica took it then she looked at Lisa. "Is he still questioning my order, Lisa?" Lisa was sweating. She looked up to Monica as Monica was reading the file. "He did not. I have made clear that we as your people should never questions your order, Miss Monica. "Then, it's good.. Lisa, you have done a great job." Monica smiled at her and quietly asked her to leave her office. At the moment, Lisa left the office. Monica put off the kind look, she lower her smile. "What a bold dog." She said with a low voice.

At the hotel

His hand stretch, he kept touching the bed as he seems trying to look for something. When he realised that there was no one beside him, he quickly woke up. He got up and went to the kitchen, he found no one then, he went to bathroom and still he found no one. He panted. "She.. wasn't here?" He then quickly reached his phone, trying to call someone." He waited and still waiting then, that person picked up his call.

"Mike? Why are you calling me?" He sighed. He was relieved to hear her voice even from the phone." Where are you, Mon? I was searching for you a while ago. Where are have you been?" Monica gritted her teeth but tried to keep her sweet-like voice to him. "I was working.. and for your information, I quit my education." She took a deep breath as Mike was shocked to hear that from her. "What? When? Is it because our scandal?" She was stressed out. Maybe because of overworked. "Mike, I.." He then interrupted her again. "I'll make sure to cover it up so, please tell me why you quit."

Monica punched her desk and sighed while Mike was shocked to hear huge noise from his phone. He then started to get panicked. "Monica? Are you okay? Why is there a loud noise came from your.." She interrupted him. Then she said angrily, "Mike! Who are you? Stop questioning me about why I quit. I mean, literally everything.." He was speechless. "I am your lover.. I just worried. Is that wrong?" Monica held tight her phone, trying to calm herself down. "Mike, I know. But please don't worry about me. I am not a child." She sighed."Okay, I'm off now. Bye.."

Mike was left confused. He was thinking why she became so angry just because he was worried about her. "Monica.. She wasn't like this morning. Why is she being like this?" He held his phone tightly. He rushed to the bed and took all of his belongings, went to the counter and checked out from the hotel. He then was at the street outside the hotel. There he was calling someone as he was wearing a mask to cover his face from paparazzi. After that, a black suspicious car went close to where he was standing and then came out a black-suited guy with black glasses who went to open the car door for him. He then quickly entered the car and the guy also did the same. He then drove quickly to the destination Mike was asking him to. Mike then opened his mask and quickly into the quiet mode as he kept staring through the black-stained window.
